A massive global Microsoft outage has disrupted services like Outlook, Teams, and Copilot across 74 countries.
We were sold digitalisation as efficiency and security. What we actually bought is dependency and insecurity.

Quite. And imagine his shock when he finds out one of the major factors contributing to rising food prices was Brexit
The amount that food prices have risen is just insane.
They’re up 40% since 2019!
Much of this is directly due to the Tories’ and Labour’s crazy energy policies and big hikes in National Insurance.
They’re also both responsible for the ‘Packaging Tax’. The Tories created it, Labour enacted it.
It costs the average household £52 a year.
We’ll scrap it in our first Budget.
Altogether, with lower taxes, cheaper energy and less mad regulation, we’ll cut your food and shopping bills by £140 a year.

Most of this lot will end up being millionaires, some will end up kipping in the Lord's, some will be employed by their lobbyists and some will just hang around forever on £98,000 plus expenses and perks.
And the majority of them will want to cut welfare for warfare. 👹🤡👹🤡👹

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus.
You want to know what insults Jesus?
Kicking the sick off their healthcare.
Bombing schoolchildren in Iran.
Deporting moms and babies.
Covering up the Epstein files.

this episode genuinely haunted me, and that's a testament to how brilliantly it was done

An 8-year-old girl won a plank competition with 33 minutes, but instead of celebrating her achievement, adults rushed to comfort a boy who came THIRD and threw a tantrum over losing. This is how boys learn entitlement from childhood. No wonder incels can't handle rejection as adults.
Eight-year-old Mila Medvedeva won the women's plank category at amateur competitions in Moscow, holding the position for 33 minutes. But after the tournament, more attention went not to her, but to the boy who dropped out earlier and didn't make it to the finals.
Many commentators note that the boy, who lasted about 20 minutes, also deserves support. However, in their opinion, his defeat received far more attention than Mila's victory.

BREAKING: Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff just arrived in Moscow for a meeting with Vladimir Putin.
I wonder how many personal business deals they will make with him today.

We have 'Children In Need' because billionaires and international companies refuse to pay taxes.

We pay the £90k salaries of MPs along with their subsidised meals and their second-home expenses out of our increased taxes.
In return, they take five-star freebies from corporate lobbyists, hike our taxes and tell us plebs to tighten our belts during the cost of living crisis - which they contributed towards.
We are paying the wages of the people who are inflicting financial misery on us.

Christ, they knocked down the East Wing and Mrs Kennedy’s rose garden to build an Amazon distribution centre. Does Washington DC not have planning laws?!

Veteran detained by ICE: I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was taken to a detention center and held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care, even though my skin burned from the chemicals.

I hope everyone takes a good hard look at this picture.
Trump’s under-construction ballroom is now bigger than the rest of the White House. Much bigger.
The contrast says everything you need to know about this President and his priorities.

A message to all sane Republicans:
He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals.
You said nothing.
He bulldozed the East Wing.
You said nothing.
He interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You said nothing.
He took over the Kennedy Center and renamed it after himself. You said nothing.
He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing.
He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing.
He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing.
He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing.
His ill-conceived war killed 175 children on day one. You said nothing.
He alienated and insulted our allies. You said nothing.
His ICE Army terrorized and murdered U.S. citizens. You said nothing.
He committed murder on the high seas. You said nothing.
He co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You said nothing.
It’s time to start talking.
